Im same as you! I never go out as I cant, and cant expect someone to turn up on doorstep! im not into the internet matches things either.

But as I can never go out theres no point anyway.

DCs just gone to bed now so ill stay on MN for a bit and then watch some tv!

I always feel scared and vulnerable at night. I never sleep properly as the slightest sound wakes me and as its always just me and DC it makes us vulnerable.

and I can put up a fight but our fecking neighbours KNOW were alone and make our lives a misery with their noise and stuff.

I empathise with all the posts here. I don't even go downstairs after getting dd to sleep I do my chores like put a wash on and get back in bed on ipad. Hate being on my own down there. And I feel vulnerable too x

Yeah I've been a lone parent for 4 years (LO is 7) and im used to the silence at night now, I like it.

But I do feel lonely once in a while. I get sick of seeing fb friends/family complain about their OHs making a mess or snoring etc. I miss those things sometimes.
